Wordless Wednesday Party Featuring The Cat Ball Review & Giveaway

Welcome To Wordless Wednesday At Create With Joy!

Magellan And Tsunami Review The Cat Ball

When was the last time that your cats discovered something so exciting and so wondrous in their home that it literally stopped them in their tracks and caused them to turn their heads in awe?

When was the last time your husband didn’t mind if your cats’ prized new possession resided in the middle of the living room floor – their favorite place to play – because it blended so beautifully with your décor?

If you and your cats have never experienced anything quite like I’m describing, you’ve probably never encountered The Cat Ball!

The Cat Ball is the coolest gift you could ever surprise your beloved cats with! It’s a fabulous place for your cats to sleep – and to play – and to let their imaginations run wild!

The creative genius behind the Cat Ball is Jennifer, a cat-loving costume designer who was hired in 2009 to design a soccer-ball shaped mascot costume for the Seattle Sounders. The prototype for that project served as the inspiration for the Cat Ball, which is available in a wide variety of unique designs in gorgeous fabrics, including the Original Cat Ball, the Cat Canoe and the whimsical Shark Cat Ball Cat Bed!

Tsunami and Magellan have been totally obsessed with their beautiful Cat Ball In Ivory and Blue Paisley Fabric from the moment they first discovered it! Truth be told, Magellan has been rather possessive of it – he likes to think of this Cat Ball as his very own – so if you have multiple cats in your household, you might want to consider placing multiple Cat Balls in different parts of your home in order to keep the peace!

Magellan loves to run in and out of it (the Cat Ball is designed with one 10” inch opening and one 6” inch opening that he can easily fit through) and to reach through the holes to hunt for his toys. He also likes to roll around in it during play time.

Tsunami likes to lay in it every chance he gets. He’d love to spend more time in it if his jealous little brother didn’t pounce on his head every time he saw Tsunami inside of it! In Tsunami’s more peaceful moments – whenever Magellan is not around – he enjoys playing peek-a-boo with us from inside of his new Cat Ball!

When they are done playing, Magellan and Tsunami love having a safe and cozy place to relax! The six-paneled hexagonal design is 17” inches in diameter and 16”inches in height. It’s not only perfectly sized for your cats, large and small, but rumor has it that many a household dog has been found trying to transform your feline’s favorite Cat Ball into a Doggie Den of their own!

The Cat Ball is the perfect resting spot, napping spot, relaxing spot, and recreation spot for your cherished cats (and even your darling little dogs) – all in one! As you can see, your cats will swell with pride when you present them with a Cat Ball of their very own!

Best of all, Jennifer is willing to spread Cat Ball love to your cats wherever they live – inside or outside of the United States, all around the globe – so don’t hesitate to visit the Cat Ball Website to learn more about this fabulous product AND enter our GIVEAWAY for a chance to win a Cat Bed of your very own for your favorite feline!

Well now that Cat Ball looks interesting, Im not sure what my cats would do with it. I bought them both covered cat beds and they dont use them. They did in the beginning but then stopped, I dont know whats up with that.

I haven’t had much success with traditional cat beds either but you should enter the giveaway and try this out for yourself!
This is not like any other product we have seen before and our cats are fascinated by it!
One of the things that is so cool about it is that the hexagonal shape moves with them if they are active –
So Magellan likes to play with it –
But it also comfortably conforms to their shape when they want to relax (think hammock!) –
And the quilted cotton fabric is soft and comfortable to curl up in!

I’ve had a guest cat for a week now and he’s only interested in a scratch pad/rolling ball and a piece of twine. That’s it, a whole bag of toys and nothing else grabs him. Your cats are pretty and funny. Great photos.

Thanks Jeanna! I know what you mean about cats being hard to please – my boys have their share of toys they sniff at too.
That’s what’s so great about the Cat Ball – it is apparently irresistible to them! 🙂

(Whispering to you, Piranha Banana – I knew there’d be a few doggies who’d be eyeing the Cat Ball and trying to figure out how to transform it into a delightful Doggie Den of your very own, lol… mum’s the word – from what I hear, you aren’t the first!)

I’m so sorry that this giveaway isn’t available to my beloved UK readers Athena,
But Jennifer says she is preparing a special offer for Create With Joy readers in the weeks to come –
Hopefully this will interest my International friends who would love a Cat Ball!

The Cat Ball looks so cool! Like Magellan, we are pretty sure Zoe and Gracie would use it to hunt for their toys through the holes. Of course, Tsunami’s suggestion of just relaxing in it sounds great, too. 🙂

The eight Kitties Blue love all different kinds of beds, and I am sure this would be no exception. I am sure a couple of them would try to get in together which would be quite amusing. Thanks for sharing the info and having the giveaway. Hugs, Janet

Wouldn’t it be fun to see your cats trying to squeeze into the Cat Ball at the same time –
Or perhaps through different openings –
Sort of like humans trying to go through the same doorway at once!
Best of luck to you – you need several of these to go round! 🙂

Hi Rosa,
Do you live in Canada? If so, you are eligible to enter the giveaway as well!
If not, Jennifer says she will be preparing a special offer for Create With Joy readers in the weeks to come
So hopefully, those who did not win and would like a Cat Ball and those who live abroad can take advantage of special savings.
I will keep you posted! 🙂

Such beautiful kitty photos you’ve shared today. I was hard pressed to pick just one cat ball, but I think I’d choose the mimi cat ball so my littlest one can have a place to snuggle in when she’s not purring on our laps. Thank you for the chance!

Magellan and Tsunami look like they’re having a ball with the cat ball! 🙂
They are puurrfect models!
My kitty Oliver would adore this. He loves to be under things like a chair or a bed. In the ball he’d be able to see out. I can see him playing and rolling around in it. (A little catnip might help!)
The shark ball gave me a laugh.
(I’m entering! Thanks!)

Wow! That was a tough choice lol I’m in love with these cat balls and I know my cat would be too. The Blue Whale and Shark are hilarious, but I think to slightly blend in with the furniture I would choose The Cat Ball a Cave Style Cat Bed made in Grey Calico Fabric Victorian Seeds. Also, the expression on that cat’s face is priceless! Frizzabella says thanks for the chance 🙂

I think that is one of the design features that makes the Cat Ball so special –
the fact that there ARE two holes on both sides so your cat never feels trapped,
and can always get a sense of what’s going on around them while enjoying the security the “cave” provides!
Popoki would love The Cat Ball – and how could you not love the Shark Ball! 🙂

Isn’t it amazing how happy a cat gets when they get something special of their very own –
you can tell by how they look and carry themselves that they just “know” it is theirs!
Yes, Magellan and Tsunami are very happy boys!

Oh man! Our cats would go crazy with that cat ball! They’d definitely play with it and sleep in it. Heck, the puppy would probably play with it and sleep in it, too! He and one of our Calicos, Shorty, are best buds and curl up together all the time. I bet they’d both try to squeeze in that! 🙂

I would LOVE to see pictures of Shorty and your puppy napping in their Cat Ball –
That would be an awesome Wordless Wednesday post!
So glad to see you at today’s party Stacy – hope you, Princess Nagger, and the rest of your family are well!

That’s right – the soccer mascot costume! Of course, wearing one isn’t quite the same as hanging out or playing in one.
Maybe if you supersize them a bit you could start a line of kiddie sized geodome playhomes…

I was just browsing the designs and noticed the Blue Whale Cat Ball next to the Shark. I LOVE that one (and think cats and kittens would too, with all of the fringe!) Probably doesn’t get the attention it should cause everyone lands on the Shark but that one’s adorable too! 🙂

There is NO DOUBT that I would need that Shark Week Shark BED! Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I almost fell off my chair! lol. My favorite week and favorite cat together in one sweet ball bed. lol. That one is for me. I mean Aurora. Both of us. lol

Our cat would probably play with it.
Our indoor cat loves to bop our other cat playfully on the head.
We only have one cat that stays inside all the time.
The other goes in and out.
We did have 3 cats. Sadly one of our older cats passed away earlier this year.
After he passed away the other 2 changed in their moods.
The one cat now mostly stays outside and the other now gets on our bed with us.
When Smokey was here they always had to be where Smokey was and our bed was reserved for Smokey.
We went through some withdrawals ourselves.
We would enter a room expecting to see Smokey only to remember he is no longer with us.

I’m sorry for your loss Michelle – yes, it really does impact everyone, cats included.
Magellan also likes to bop Tsunami on the head (we think it’s rather rude – he thinks it’s lots of fun!)
Best of luck to you – I’m sure that something as wonderful as a Cat Ball would help to ease their transition!

The Cat Ball should go to no one but us! The reason is: we like to pounce and the cat ball would be purrrfect. One of us will hide in it and the other will pounce. I can’t wait! Our incredibly talented & creative human, Carol, says she will take inspirational photos of us during this important activity and send you the results! – Love, Peaches & Paprika, Calico Cats of Distinction
